[ henlo cloud what are you doing in the new hallway of doors? hope is looking wary about the idea of going into one, but it also looks like his mind is made up. with a glance toward cloud, he asks dryly, ]
Are you also here against your better judgment?

[ in cloud's defense he has a giant sword that won't be useful at all if they have to fight clowns? but yeah, he's looking at the doors when hope says it ]
Yeah. Thinking if I somehow get infinite hallways for a third time on a different floor, that's when I'll call it quits for real.
[ this is like gambling. maybe something will be useful. ]

[ he nods. mood! ]
As stupid as this might feel, I'm not exactly a fan of sitting around when I could be gathering more information.
[ and with that, he volunteers as tribute and grasps a knob at random. ]
Want to accompany me?

[ the door opens! wow. shock. amaze. hope squints as the door closes behind the two of them, trying to suss out any investigation pixels in the corners of the room... ]
...Nothing appears to be off, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's safe.

To be fair, with the rooms from last week, most of them also took a moment for any effects to kick in...
[ he's gonna start looking at chairs. on the seats... under them... he checks the ceiling just to be sure??? ]

...
That was anticlimactic.
[ . . . ]
Should we... check out another one?

[ hm. he sees. it's uncanny at first, for him and cloud to be the only sources of color in this room... he finds himself squinting as they get their bearings, eyes trying to adjust to all the gray. ]
Well... at least this seems a little more in line with what we were probably expecting.

[ it feels a little bit like being back in the sector 7 slums, except the slums are destroyed, so thinking that just makes him sad.
anyway he looks around. it's... just a black and white park. ]
Yeah. Maybe we were better off sticking to the regular room.
[ but he'll go take a walk through the park! surely this is a good idea. ]

[ when cloud says that, hope immediately tries to open the door again... only to find that, unlike the last room, this one stays firmly shut. hm. ]
Looks like there's no turning back now.
[ turning back around to face the park, he starts to once again take in their surroundings, looking for a hint on what they're supposed to accomplish or experience here. ]
I get the feeling these rooms are related in some way to the previous games. The Prism—I think that's what this one is called—seemed to place heavy emphasis on colors... so this might be representative of its antithesis.

I don't think it's just a feeling. The snake from that camp showed up in the previous rooms. I don't know how anything else in those related to that, but maybe some are references and some aren't.
[ cloud will just keep walking. he does not really care for a hint so long as they can keep walking. surely! walking will have no consequences!!! ]
The only thing I know about that color place is there were clowns. Haven't talked to those guys much yet. Might be good to get info about all the previous rounds at some point if we're going to keep ending up in them.

[ the mention of clowns makes hope like ??? but he. guesses he can't really say anything when he was at a school with a bear for a principal. ]
I agree—the sooner, the better. Of course, that's a lot easier said than done. It's a lot to coordinate 30-something people without forcing them to participate in the same way that we're compelled to attend trial...
[ hope follows behind cloud! ]
Sorry, um—Cloud, right? I've just realized we've never really... spoken so far.

Too bad we can't use that power for good for once.
[ it's all he says to having to wrangle thirty people because actually he did have to do that as an npc and it sucks and he has decided to not think about it. But hope says that and. oh yes right speaking of no longer being an npc ]
Thirty people is a lot to speak to, too. But yeah, Cloud. And you're Hope?
[ two ff morons with English names wow ]

That's me.
[ he's spent enough time in the courtyard to recognize cloud as one of the npcs... wack. ]
You were also one of the "hosts" of a group, weren't you?

I've been using it interchangeably with facilitators... from what I understand, the term changes from group to group based on the setting. For example, the ones at Wiwaldi were called dorm heads, because they were each a leader of one of the four dorms.
I see.
[ it comes out noticeably a little more mechanically than what he's sounded like so far—the color is beginning to fade from his being, though it might be a little hard to tell while looking at his white hair. ]
I think we may have run into another dead end.
